Gazette: The balloon the New York World and Post Dispatch sent out from. St Lotus ascended 12.000 feet, but as that direction is not the road to the Atlantic sea board the enterprise failed except in such scien- tific results as detailed report may develop. The time required to reach the highest point was twelve minutes, at starting the temperature was 90o, which was reduced to 30o- below the freezing point-at tue altitude of l2,000 feet. Prof. Hazen, who was ia charge, says the direction of the lower current of air was north east, and that of the upper east, pre- cisely as predicted. The velocity of the balloon was about thirty miles per hour, nearly due east. The bal loon landed in Hoffman, H., it Lrequir ing the united exertions os thirty men to control the monster air ship, and it was impossible to wholly sub due it without applying the rip cord, which finally took the vital breath He says another attempt will be made to reach the east; but travel ing thirty miles an hour in an open car with the temperature below the freezing point would mean freezing to death in few hours.

The following "trade review' taken from the Bentonvile Journal is so applicable to Russellville that re- produceit: "Our dog -fennel crop, som of " hich is now being harvested, is making a good yield. The mud-hole crop is not so plentiful as last season, but there are few yet in the back alleys, and they are all ripe, ready for the harvest. The crop of new potatoes are in the market and the small boys, grown men and editors walk in an in- clining, listening position as if just ready to grab something. The crop of muscle that grows to maturity on the street corners bids fair, and with fla vorable weather, will make good two thirds crop. The dry goods politician hasn't done well this season, the wealth CT being unfavOrable, but there will be enough for seed lef., and ere the har- vest comes again we expect to see an abundance of this cereal.

 The last general assembly passed most excellent law on the subject of roads, and is one that will result in their improved condition if it is faith l fully carried out. The law, in sub stance, is as follows; The sheriff Is re- quired, at the time he delivers the no- tices of appointments of the road over seers, to deliver to each of them print ed copy of the laws on this subject, by which they may become familiar with their duties. On or before the first day of each term of tho circuit court each overseer is required to make a report of the distance embraced in his district; {; the number of hands subjees to work the road under his control; the number of days worked; the amount of fines assessed for n-performance of duty, and the condition of the road and the condition of the bridges thereon, which report must be sworn 10 by the over seer. This report puts the overseer on record as to what he has done, and the effect will be that there will be no more shirkiDg. On fair calculation based upon a population Of 15,000 inhabitants, there are probably 5000 persons In this county subject to road duty. This makes the number of days work to be expended on roads 30,000, enough to make every road in the county as smooth as need be

Correspondence of the Democrat
 PoTTs STATION, June 20.--I have been asked several times in regard to the burning of my barn, and for the benefit of inquiring friends l will make the following statement:
 On the 10th of May at l o'clock a. m., 1 was aroused from my quiet slumber by the screams of my wife, and running to the window saw my barn in flame, l got my revolver and on reaching the lot the fire beng in such headwaY the building and contents ,es lost, consisting of ? cribs, slaUles-sheds at each side, contents 50 bushels corn, all roughness, l horse, l wagon and hack, or GOO feet lumb Der, loss $500. No insurance. l saved ? mules and l horse winch were loose in the lot, also l crib and corn.
 As to the party that fired my barn am satisfied that A. B. Parker (col. ] was the man. He claims to have gone fishing that night. How is it that four men out of five have suf fered who had difficulties with him, two with burning, one with horse shot, and the other with horse pos oned2 Just how long the people are to endure such ito not know for the best. No man knows the feelings but one who has had the experience, when he sees his buildings burning and his stock shut in to suffer the flames and knowing that some scamp fired it. 1 do not claim all Pope county as warm friends, but think can safely say there is not another man in the county that would do me that kind of an injury, lspoke that night of trying to obtain blood bounds and for the benefit of tho public hereafter l would like tc know where they can be obtained.

 At the next meeting of the town council an ordinance establishing fire limit within the town willbe considered. The limits are described as fellows :: All that portion of the town bounded by the railroad avenue of the l.. R. &, F. $. By on the north, by David street on the south, by Oak street on the east and by St. Mary street on the west. The ordinance makes it unlawful for any person to erect within the above limits any building or addition to any building more than ten feet in height unless the outer walls of such build ing be made of brlck, ,siron or stone. It is also made unlawful for any person to cover any building that may now be erected or that may hereafter be erect ed within the prescribed limit, with anything save stone or metal. The proposition is an exceedingly serious one and of sufficient importance to call for the calm and considerate delibera- tioD of the city authorities and of every one whose property is embraced within the limits described. The wisdom and propriety of an advanced step such as is contemplated by the ordinance un- der consideration has been amply dem- onstrated in other towns. and we pre- sume Russellville has reached that point where she will bejustified in as- suming similar authority. That mat ter, however, will be left with the board of Aldermen to determine.

Died.

Mrs. Mary Evans, wife of Mir Lige Evans, died at Norristown June 20, 1887. She was the daugh ter of Elijah and Alma Fruit, old time residents of Norristown, hel mother. though very feeble, was al the burial of her baby daughter who was 34 years old. Sister Evans had been member of the Methodist church eight years, she died tri- umphant death, talking to and ex- horting her husband and children and friends. The day before she died she sang the entire hymn, ."There IS fountain filled with blood.' She leaves a son and daugh- ter, ages about IA and Is, and many friends to mourn their loss. God help them to live right, that they too like her, may have the victory at last. 5. s. KEY.
 In Russellville, Arkansas, June 10, 1887, Willie Turner, infant son of MT. and Mrs. Fred Turner.
 Little Willie was born January 7th, 1887, and was, therefore, just budding into life, still in it's beautiful dawn. He kItew nothing of the bitters and sweets of life, nothing of life's realities |; he only lived in the affectionate minis trations of his father and mother. But in the midst of all their affectionate de- yotions and tender care the precious little flower withered and died, and his little soul went to the God who gave it. Though his voice will be heard no more, and the sweet little smile that eheered the mother's heart will be seen no more, Little Willie dwells within the radiance of smile that makes joyous the hearts of millions. Willie was laid to rest in the city ceme- tery June 20th, burial service being performed by the writer. We con- mend the sorrowing parents and the little brother and sister left behind to God, who alone can bind up the broken hearted. H. E. MILNER.

Beebe Argus There is a conflict between the Cherokees and the In terior Department as to the position of intraders. The Indians desire the government to expel these intru- ders, but the Interior Department holds that commission must be ap- pointed to decide who are non resi- dents, and that all who have improve ments must be paid for the same by the Cherokee government. This is right and it is good Il opportunity to teach the Indians a valuable lesson in the fact that the United States will not much longer keep them up In idleness.
